Tasting Notes

  • Color & Consistency: Brass doorknob straight out of the 80's with medium to thick legs.
  • Nose: Spicy rye, allspice, grassy, vanilla. Jeff described it as a smoldering campfire.
  • Taste: Cinnamon, fennel, caramel corn with a little bit of oak.
  • Finish: Medium length with lemongrass and the all to familiar rye spice.
  • Conclusion: Batch No. 17027. Absolutely a great RYE and definitely a great value for such a well crafted whiskey. Pairs well with a cup-o-joe.

More and more coming to the conclusion that Basil Hayden’s is the Lacroix of bourbons. Basically whiskey infused with essential oils… It's pretty pricey for what it brings to the table … confused. Two By Two Rye doesn’t give us anything to hate but nothing to bring us back.

Bottled at 108.4, this particular selection from barrel No. 18F829 is truly a wonder to behold. Familiar but with a depth of flavor and ABV punch that you won’t get from Michter’s std US-1 Rye.

The more you drink the more you get used to it but its not exactly what we would call enjoyable. The port addition doesn't do it any favors either.
